Review: Afterlife: An Investigation

User Review - Caesar Warrington - Goodreads

Despite my longtime admiration for Colin Wilson and his work, I was quite disappointed by this book. AFTERLIFE is less about life after death than it is about Wilson rehashing some of the same stories and phenomena reaffirming his theories on "Factor X," among other things.Read full review

Review: Afterlife: An Investigation

User Review - Josť Vicente - Goodreads

Really interesting compilation of different psychical events (with explanation) and afterdeath intercourses (without no explanation)...Although the record of the SPR is well performed,the reader has the last word...... Anyway, too much positive and especulative concerning the human potential.Read full review
